hang out
Why are all the suggested places close much before midnight? I thought the poster asked for a place to hang out after a long night out.
Is the above correct and natural?
Thanks.

Hi,
Why are all the suggested places close much before midnight? I thought the poster asked for a place to hang out after a long night out.
Is the above correct and natural?
No. It seems to require a context. eg Is the poster a paper sign, or someone who is posting to a Forum?
Consider this. Why do all the places they suggested close early?

Why are all the suggested places close much before midnight? I thought the poster asked for a place to hang out after clubbing.
How about the above?
I mean a forum poster. Sorry for the confusion.

How about the above?
'Much before' is not really idiomatic. Possibly 'a long time before'.
